RebelSites turns a short description of your business into a complete, ready-to-publish website. This guide walks you through your first build.
1. Describe your business
From the home screen, open a new chat and tell RebelSites what you do. The more specific you are, the better the first draft. A good prompt includes:
- The type of business (e.g. "roofing company in Austin, TX")
- The services you offer
- Your phone number, address, and hours if you want them on the site
- Anything that makes you different (years in business, certifications, service area)
You don't need to write a novel. Two or three sentences is enough.
2. Watch the build
RebelSites streams the site as it generates. You'll see pages, sections, and styles appear in the preview pane on the right in real time. Most sites finish in under a minute.
When the build completes, you'll have a live, fully-styled site running in a preview sandbox.
3. Refine with chat
Don't like the hero image? Want a different color palette? Need an extra service page? Just say so in the chat. RebelSites makes targeted edits without rebuilding the whole site, so iteration is fast.
Examples of edits you can ask for:
- "Make the hero section darker and add a call-to-action button"
- "Add a testimonials section under the services"
- "Change the brand color to forest green"
- "Add a contact page with a form"
4. Publish
When you're happy with the result, click Publish. RebelSites builds a static version of your site and deploys it to a permanent URL you can share immediately.
5. Connect a custom domain
To put the site on your own domain (e.g. yourbusiness.com), open the project's Domains tab and follow the verification steps. RebelSites handles SSL certificates automatically once DNS is set up.
